The like button can be accessed by the following process:
1) Quoting a post that you like.
2) Activating the following keys in sequence:
"L", "I", "K" then "E". Capitalisation is optional.
A short-cut for this can be accessed by activating these keys in sequence:
"+" then "1".
3) The "post" button will then function as a "like" button.

How about restoring the like button - except this time when you click it, nothing happens?

It would satisfy both those who were a fan of the like button and those who weren't. If you like a post you could click away to your heart's content and not annoy those who don't like posts being liked....

I would be a fan of this as long as the forum stored the number of times the user clicked the like button, as well as the content of the post they tried to like, and then used some complicated algorithm that noone understands to change the ‘status’ of the user within the community in some subtle way.

Ideas on implementing the change of status:

1) slightly decrease or increase the size of the profile photo.

2) add incorrect text at random to the user’s posts, but then delete it after 10 minutes.

3) have JBroida automatically quote and +1 everything the user says.

4) add serifs to the text posted by the user, but in a way that is so subtle that it goes mostly unnoticed except for conveying a sense of elegance.
